28 to 30 may 2008, hualien (花莲)
24 to 25 may 2008, tainan
23 to 24 May 2008, alisan (阿里山)
we missed the last bus (2.10pm) to alisan. so we negotiated with an old lady for a taxi ride up. cant remember how much we paid for, probably around NT 2300 for a one-way taxi cum room stay.
alishan is a popular destination to see its sun rise. most of the accommodations were priced double and are fully booked on fridays and saturdays.

22 to 23 may 2008, sun moon lake (日月潭)
stayed at a 民宿 owned by an old couple. the room was beautifully furnished and cost about NT 1000/night for a triple room.
chatted with the owner for a bit while he chewed on 槟榔. he generously offered us some of it from his packet. his mandarin carried a bit of a hokkien accent and honestly, i enjoyed hearing him speak.
he told us that the peak season in taiwan is around jul to aug. and through his wife, we booked the half day morning ferry tickets to see the lake. their price was cheaper than the ticket booths.
